Poor Arwen! In addition to the torture I put her through earlier this week, I came upstairs from my workout to this face:
One eye slightly swollen (on the left, her right eye) and the other VERY swollen (on the right, her left eye). Obviously her right eyelid had been bitten by a mosquito, but the other was bitten by a deer fly: a nasty, evil bug! Poor Arwen! The swelling had gone down a bit by the time I took this photo as I gave her some Benadryl (in peanut butter of course!) and waited a bit, trying to make sure it wasn't going to get any worse. Here's another shot:
Rest assured, she is getting lots of cuddles and attention. Now that the Benadryl is kicking in, she is sleepy, but still trying to play with her toys, so that is a good sign. I'll keep you updated!Have you signed up for my contest yet??
Oh, your poor dog! I hope she feels better soon. I'm sure the extra cuddling helps :)
ReplyDeleteAh, poor sweet Arwen! Well, lots of kisses and cuddles and treats make anything better.
ReplyDeletePoor baby. My heart goes out to her.
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame, she doesn't look happy in the slightest!
ReplyDeleteThough I have never heard of a deer fly before - rather a nice name!
Oh poor Arwen! I'm glad to hear that the Benadryl is helping but it's too bad she got bit by those nasty bugs. Give her some cuddles from me too!
ReplyDeleteUPDATE: Arwen is doing fine now, the swelling is almost completely gone and she is back to carrying her seal around everywhere and trying to play fetch with it. Thank you all for your comments of concern and well wishes, she appreciates them :)
ReplyDeleteglad to know she is doing great now. it's not easy seeing your best bud sick.
